Modas Systems and Customer may be individually referred to as a “Party” or collectively as the “Parties.”

Modas Systems provides services and equipment intended solely for business use, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and on the condition that customer accepts and complies with this Agreement. By electronically signing this Agreement, Customer (a) accepts this agreement and agrees that Customer is legally bound by its terms; and (b) represents and warrants that: (i) its representative is 18 years of age or of legal age to enter into a binding agreement; and (ii) has the right, power, and authority to enter into this agreement on behalf of the corporation, governmental organization, or other legal entity, and to bind such organization to these terms.

The Parties agree as follows:

1. Definitions

Capitalized terms not defined have the meaning given to them in Attachment A below.

2. Ordering and Term

The Order will identify the Services requested by Customer together with: (i) the price for each Service; (ii) scheduled Start Date; (iii) and products leased, licensed or sold to Customer, if any.

An Order will become binding when it is executed by the Customer and accepted by Modas Systems. Modas Systems may accept an Order by commencing performance of the requested Services.

  1. Term of this Agreement

The Term of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and continue until the last Order Form is terminated or expires, unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms.

  1. Services Term and Automatic Renewal

The Services’ term will begin on the Start Date of the initial Order and continue for the initial term set forth in the initial Order (“Initial Term”). Upon expiration of the Initial Term, recurring Services will automatically renew for successive periods of the same length as the Initial Term (each a “Renewal Term”) unless either Party gives notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of the Initial Term or the then-current Renewal Term. The term of any recurring Services added to the Account after the initial Order is submitted will start on the Start Date of the subsequent Order, will run coterminously with the then-current term of any pre-existing Services, and will be billed on the same billing cycles as the pre-existing Services.

3. Invoicing and Payment

  1. Prices and Charges

All prices are identified in US dollars on the website or Administrative Portal. Additional charges may result if Customer activates additional features, exceeds usage thresholds, or purchases additional Services or equipment. Customer will be liable for all charges resulting from use of the Services on its Account.

Recurring charges for the Services begin on the Start Date, and will continue for the Term. Recurring charges (such as charges for Digital Lines, product licenses, minute bundles, and equipment rental fees) will, once incurred, remain in effect for the Initial Term (as described in an Order Form) or the then-current Renewal Term. Modas Systems will provide notice of any proposed increase in such charges no later than thirty (30) days before the end of the Initial Term or then-current Renewal Term, and any such increase will be effective on the first day of the next Renewal Term. Administrative Fees that Modas Systems is entitled to pass on to its customers as a surcharge pursuant to applicable Law may be increased on thirty (30) days’ written notice.

Outbound calling rates will be applied based on the rate in effect at the time of use. Customer may locate the currently effective rates in the Administrative Portal.

  1. Billing and Payment

All Services and equipment must be purchased via valid credit or debit card at the time of purchase. By providing a valid credit or debit card, Customer is expressly authorizing all Services and equipment charges and fees to be charged to such payment card, including recurring payments billed on a monthly or annual basis. In addition, Customer’s supplied credit card shall be used for any in-month purchases of additional services and products, or where Customer has exceeded usage or threshold limits, or any overage charges. Recurring charges are billed in advance in the frequency set forth in the Order Form, and usage-based and one-time charges are billed monthly in arrears. Credit and debit card payments are subject to the approval of the card issuer, and Modas Systems will not be liable in any way if a card issuer refuses to accept a credit or debit card for any reason. Customer is responsible for any credit card chargeback or similar fees for refused or rejected payments that Modas Systems is entitled to charge under this Agreement. If the payment card associated with Customer’s Account is declined or fails for any reason, Modas Systems will send Customer a notice using the contact information associated with Customer’s Account. Modas Systems may continue to attempt charging Customer’s payment card for outstanding charges and additional fees along with any other rights and remedies available to Modas Systems under this Agreement, at law or in equity.

Unless otherwise stated at the time of purchase or on the invoice, payment is due in full, without deduction or set-off, within thirty (30) days of the date on the invoice. Any payment not made when due will be subject to a late payment fee equivalent to the lesser of (i) one and a half percent (1.5%) per month; or (ii) the highest rate allowed by Law. Modas Systems’ acceptance of late or partial payments (regardless of how they are marked or designated (including without limitation as ‘Paid in Full’, ‘Accord and Satisfaction’, or similarly)) will not waive, limit, or prejudice in any way Modas Systems’ rights to collect any amount due. Modas Systems may terminate the Services and this Agreement for non-payment if any fees or charges are not paid within thirty (30) days of the due date.

  1. Taxes

All rates, fees, and charges are exclusive of applicable Taxes, for which Customer is solely responsible. Taxes may vary based on jurisdiction and the Services provided. Taxes, access fees, universal service or other recovery fees, or similar charges will be adjusted on the date in which those increases become effective as mandated by competent authority. If any withholding tax is levied on the payments, then Customer must increase the sums paid to Modas Systems so that the amount received by Modas Systems after the withholding tax is deducted is the full amount Modas Systems would have received if no withholding or deduction had been made.

  1. Billing Disputes

If a Customer reasonably and in good faith disputes any portion of Modas System’s charges, it must provide written notice to Modas Systems within thirty (30) days of the invoice date, identifying the reason for the dispute and the amount being disputed. Customer’s dispute as to any portion of the invoice will not excuse Customer’s obligation to timely pay the undisputed portion of the invoice. Upon resolution, Customer must pay any unpaid amounts within thirty (30) days. Any amounts that are found to be in error resulting in an overpayment by the Customer will be applied as a billing credit against future charges. Customer will be reimbursed any outstanding billing credits at the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

The Indemnified Party will have the right to participate at its own expense in the defense of such third-party claim, including any related settlement negotiations. No such claim may be settled or compromised by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s express written consent (which such consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), unless such settlement or compromise includes a full and complete release of all claims and actions against the Indemnified Party by each party bringing such third-party claim.

MODAS SYSTEMS INC., E911 CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION

Effective July 1, 2020

This notification provides important information about the ability to connect to 911 emergency calling services using Modas Systems Services (“The Service”).

This document provides very important information about emergency 911 calling using the Internet phone provided by Modas Systems Services (”The Service”). This document also describes the steps that you, as a customer of this service (“You”), should take to ensure Your safety and the safety of Your employees and visitors.

Capitalized terms used in this document but not otherwise defined have their respective meanings set forth in the Terms of Service between You and Modas.

***Note that this document is incorporated into the Terms of Service and creates a legally binding obligation on You.

Please read it carefully.

The Federal Communications Commission’s June 29, 2005 ruling on enhanced 911 (“E911”) service requires all interconnected Voice over Internet Protocol service providers to ensure that their VoIP customers are provided with a clear understanding of their E911 emergency services capabilities.

There are certain limited situations in which our service will not be available to you and this notice provides you with important information about our E911 service and those limited situations.

Modas Phone 911 Service (“The E911 Service”): The E911 Service operates differently than traditional 911 service. The FCC requires us to advise our customers of the circumstances under which 911 may not be available or may be in some way limited by comparison to traditional 911 service. Such circumstances include:

  • Internet Connection Failure.If the Internet connection over which The E911 Service is provided is interrupted, you and/or your company will not have access to The E911 Service during that interruption and therefore will not have access to 911 service during that interruption.
    1. Additionally, under certain circumstances, customers may be using their VoIP service at a remote site (for example, a customer or a customer’s employee works from home or from a location other than the registered location for the customer’s VoIP service) or may be using their SIP telephones at locations other than the registered location associated with such SIP telephones. Under these limited situations, if the caller dials 911, the address information displayed to the emergency dispatch center will be displayed as the registered location (most likely, the customer’s office location), not the remote caller’s location, and the 911 call will be directed to the emergency dispatch center nearest to the registered location rather than the caller’s remote location. Accordingly, customers that use their VoIP services remotely or use their SIP telephones at locations other than their registered locations are advised to have an alternate means of accessing 911 at such non-registered locations that will correctly display the physical address from where they are calling and route the 911 call to the nearest emergency response unit.

(2) Network Configuration. If your company’s network configuration does not permit The E911 Service to connect, your company will not have access to The E911 Service and therefore will not have access to 911 service.

(3) Service Relocation and Non-Native Telephone Numbers. Traditional 911 service automatically sends 911 calls to the appropriate local emergency responder, or Public Safety Answering Point (“PSAP”), based on the user’s telephone number. Traditional Enhanced 911 service (also known as E911) automatically sends 911 calls to the appropriate PSAP along with the user’s address and telephone number. Because The E911 Service permits customers (and customers’ users) to use The E911 Service anywhere they have broadband Internet access, and to obtain numbers that may not correspond with their current location, The E911 Service functions differently than traditional 911 service in certain respects:

Because a user’s telephone number does not necessarily correspond with the user’s physical location, all users must provide Modas Systems, Inc. (“Modas Service”) with their Registered Location when the company sets up their service. The Registered Location is the street address where the users will be using Modas Service.

The E911 Service will, where possible, automatically transmit a user’s Registered Location to the PSAP. Accordingly, if a user relocates the equipment (for example, laptop, tablet, mobile device, desktop phone or desktop computer) used to access The E911 Service, the user must update the Registered Location. If the user does not update the Registered Location, any 911 call the user makes using The E911 Service will be routed based on the user’s previously provided Registered Location and therefore may not be routed to the appropriate PSAP for the user’s current location.

Once a user notifies Modas Service of a change in the Registered Location, there may be a delay in making the new Registered Location available to properly route 911 calls and advise PSAPs of the user’s Registered Location.

In circumstances where direct routing to PSAPs is not available, The E911 Service will route 911 calls to a 24/7 emergency call center where trained agents will ask for the name, location, and telephone number of the person calling 911 and will contact the appropriate PSAP to send help.

MODAS SYSTEMS Vendor Code of Conduct

Effective October 01, 2019

Introduction

Modas Systems, Inc. (“Modas Systems”) is committed to the highest standards and ethical conduct. This Code applies to Modas Systems vendors and their subsidiaries, affiliates, and subcontractors (each a “Vendor”) conducting business with or on behalf of Modas Systems. Vendors are expected to provide safe working conditions, treat workers with dignity and respect, act fairly and ethically, and use environmentally responsible practices. Modas Systems requires its Vendors to operate in accordance with the principles in this Modas Systems Vendor Code of Conduct (“Code”) and in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. This Code is not intended to create new or additional rights for any third party. When differences arise between standards and legal requirements, the stricter standard shall apply, in compliance with applicable law.

Vendors must promptly inform their Modas Systems contact (or a member of Modas Systems management) when any situation develops that causes the Vendor to operate in violation of this Code. While Vendors are expected to self-monitor and demonstrate their compliance with this Code, Modas Systems may audit Vendors or inspect Vendors’ facilities to confirm compliance. Modas Systems may require the immediate removal of any Vendor representative(s) or personnel who behave in a manner that is unlawful or inconsistent with this Code or any Modas Systems policy. Compliance with this Code, and attending training on this Code, as may be offered by Modas Systems, is required in addition to any other obligations in any agreement a Vendor may have with Modas Systems.

Legal and Regulatory Compliance Practices

All Vendors must conduct their business activities in full compliance with the applicable laws and regulations while conducting business with and/or on behalf of Modas Systems, and must, without limitation:

  • Comply with all applicable trade controls, as well as all applicable export, re-export, and import laws and regulations.
  • Conduct business in full compliance with antitrust and fair competition laws that govern the jurisdictions in which they conduct business.
  • Not participate in international boycotts that are not sanctioned by the United States (U.S.) government or applicable laws.
  • Not participate in bribes or kickbacks of any kind, whether in dealings with public officials or individuals in the private sector. Modas Systems is committed to observing the standards of conduct set forth in the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and the anti-corruption and anti- money laundering laws of the countries in which Modas Systems operates. Vendors must comply with all applicable anti-corruption and anti-money laundering laws, including the FCPA, as well as laws governing lobbying, gifts, and payments to public officials, political campaign contribution laws, and other related regulations. Vendors must not, directly or indirectly, offer or pay anything of value (including travel, gifts, hospitality expenses, and charitable donations) to any official or employee of any government, government agency, political party, public international organization, or any candidate for political office to (i) improperly influence any act or decision of the official, employee, or candidate for the purpose of promoting the business interests of Modas Systems in any respect, or (ii) otherwise improperly promote the business interests of Modas Systems in any respect.

Business Practices and Ethics

Vendors must conduct their business interactions and activities with integrity and must, without limitation:

  • Honestly and accurately record and report all business information and comply with all applicable laws regarding their completion and accuracy.
  • Speak to the press on behalf of Modas Systems only if the Vendor is expressly authorized in writing to do so by Modas Systems.
  • Avoid gifts to Modas Systems employees because even a well-intentioned gift might constitute a bribe under certain circumstances, or create conflicts of interest. Any gifts, meals, or entertainment must comply with applicable law, must not violate the giver’s and/or recipient’s policies on the matter, and must be consistent with local custom and practice.
  • Avoid the appearance of or actual improprieties or conflicts of interests. Vendors must not deal directly with any Modas Systems employee whose spouse, domestic partner, or other family member or relative holds a significant financial interest in the Vendor.
  • Avoid insider trading by not buying or selling Modas Systems or another company’s securities when in possession of information about Modas Systems or another company that is not available to the investing public and that could influence an investor’s decision to buy or sell the security.

Labor Practices and Human Rights

Modas Systems expects its Vendors to share its commitment to human rights and equal opportunity in the workplace. All Vendors must conduct their employment practices in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, and must, without limitation:

  • Treat workers with the utmost dignity and respect, and uphold the highest standards of human rights. Modas Systems believes all workers in our supply chain deserve a fair and ethical workplace.
  • Not discriminate against any worker based on age, disability, ethnicity, gender, marital status, national origin, political affiliation, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, union membership, or any other status protected by applicable national or local law, in hiring and other employment practices.
  • Commit to a workplace free of harassment and abuse. Vendor shall not threaten workers with, or subject them to, harsh or inhumane treatment, including but not limited to verbal abuse and harassment, psychological harassment, mental and physical coercion, and sexual harassment.
  • Ensure that all work is voluntary. Vendor shall not traffic persons or use any form of slave, forced, bonded, indentured, or prison labor. Involuntary labor includes the transportation, harboring, recruitment, transfer, receipt, or employment of persons by means of threat, force, coercion, abduction, fraud, or payments to any person having control over another person for the purpose of exploitation.
  • Comply with all local and national minimum working age laws or regulations and not use child labor.
  • Ensure that workers have an effective mechanism to report grievances and that facilitates open communication between management and workers.

Health and Safety

Vendors are expected to integrate sound health and safety management practices into all aspects of business, and must, without limitation:

  • Adhere to all applicable laws, regulations, and customer requirements regarding prohibition or restriction of specific substances, including labeling for recycling and disposal.

Protection of Assets and Intellectual Property

  • Vendor shall respect intellectual property rights and safeguard customer information. Vendor shall manage technology and know-how in a manner that protects intellectual property rights.
  • Vendor shall comply with all Modas Systems requirements and procedures for maintaining passwords, confidentiality, security and privacy as a condition of providing Modas Systems with goods or services or receiving access to the Modas Systems internal corporate network, systems, and buildings.

  • 1 Vendor will, at its sole expense, indemnify, defend and hold Modas Systems, the Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, and affiliates (collectively, “Indemnified Modas Systems Parties”) harmless from and against any and all claims, suits, actions, damages, settlements, losses, liabilities, penalties, fines, investigations, costs and expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and any costs of remediation, reporting, or notification arising out of any Security Incident, arising out of or in connection with:

    • 1.4 any obligation of the Vendor to provide workers’ compensation benefits, employers’ liability, or similar benefits;
    • 1.5 any and all obligations imposed upon Modas Systems or any of the Modas Systems Affiliates resulting from Vendor or any of its personnel being determined not to be an independent contractor or being determined to be a co-employer, joint employer or employee of Modas Systems or any Affiliate;
    • 1.6 to the extent Product(s) are provided and an OEM provides Vendor with an indemnity based on the infringement, misappropriation, or other violation of any intellectual property rights of a third party by any such OEM’s Products, and provided OEM has agreed in writing that such indemnity may be made available by Vendor to its customers, Vendor will extend to Modas Systems the same terms under which such indemnity is provided from the OEM to the Vendor. Such indemnity terms will be added to this Agreement via amendment if they are not already included on the Effective Date, however adding the indemnity terms to this Agreement via amendment will not be considered a condition precedent required in order for Modas Systems to have the benefit of the indemnity. In the case of an infringement claim, the obligation to indemnify and defend shall be fulfilled by either Vendor or the OEM, as determined by the OEM’s agreement with Vendor;
    • 1.7 the violation, infringement or misappropriation of any third-party intellectual property right by any of the: (a) Services, (b) Pre-Existing Intellectual Property licensed to Modas Systems under this Agreement, or (c) Work Product or Deliverable; provided however, that this obligation will not extend to infringements, violations or misappropriations of third-party rights caused by Modas Systems’ modification of any Pre-Existing Intellectual Property, Work Product or Deliverable following delivery to Modas Systems, unless such modification is performed by, authorized by, or at the request of Vendor or any of its personnel; and

Modas Systems’ failure to comply with its obligations under the preceding sentence will not relieve Vendor of its defense and indemnity obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that Vendor is prejudiced by such failure. Modas Systems may approve or reject any counsel proposed or selected by Vendor in connection with the defense or settlement of any such claim, suit or action. Modas Systems shall have the right to participate at its own expense in the defense of such claim or action, including any related settlement negotiations. No such claim or action shall be settled or compromised without Modas Systems’ express written consent, which consent may be withheld or conditioned by Modas Systems at its sole discretion, including requiring the execution of a full and complete release of all claims and actions made against the Indemnified Parties by each party bringing any such claims or actions. Modas Systems shall have the right to withhold from any payments due to Vendor the amount of Modas Systems’ actual and projected costs of defending or settling any such claim or action, plus any other reasonable additional amounts, as security for the performance by Vendor of its obligations under this Section 10.
  • 3 Substitution of Non-Infringing Items. In the event that any of the Pre-Existing Intellectual Property licensed to Modas Systems under this Agreement, any of the Work Product, any of the Services or any Deliverable provided by or on behalf of Vendor is found to infringe, violate or misappropriate any third-party right, or is likely to do so in Modas Systems’ opinion, then Vendor will promptly, at its sole expense, either: (a) secure for Modas Systems the rights to continue using such infringing Pre-Existing Intellectual Property, Work Product, Services or Deliverables; (b) replace such item with a functionally equivalent item that does not infringe, violate or misappropriate any third-party right; or (c) modify such item so as to cause it not to violate, infringe or misappropriate any third-party right, but without reducing its functionality. If none of the foregoing options are commercially practicable, then in the case of Deliverables constituting goods, Vendor will refund the amounts paid by Modas Systems for such items, as depreciated on a straight-line basis over a period of 60 months from the date of acceptance. The foregoing will be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies that Modas Systems may have under this Agreement, at law or in equity.
